Walker had a chance and he dropped the ball at every opportunity. Cruz in EVERY case picked up the ball and advanced down field.

[right way right]

I don’t think you will find a Bush bot on this website.
“stay out da Bushes!”

I’m a Cruzer, Feel my firebrand sizzle! SSSSSSSSSSSSS!

It's particularly painful when they have a huge number of “candidates” spread across the stage looking, in a panoramic view, like an assemblage of midgets.

Then, we get a series of 'raise your hand if ...' and 'yes or no' and 'short answer' questions that do little to give the audience information about the contestents.

At least they did start balking at the 'raise your hand if ...' questions in 2012.

If the RNC does not insist on major changes in the 'moderators' of debates, the debates will be little more than Media attempts to get more 'gotcha' comments.

Cruz and Bush mono a mono is a contest I would welcome.

[Cruz_West_Paul2016]

I will literally flip out if my name here will be the ticket.

[Cruz_West_Paul2016]

well Cruz/Paul. looks like West isn’t running.

[jospehm20]

I want Cruz to win but I also like Walker. Walker is much better than anybody else running besides Cruz in my view.

[napscoordinator]

Cute, but Walker hasn’t even announced yet. Time will tell.

[Yashcheritsiy]

It’s Walker’s own fault. He went soft (or revealed himself to be soft) on illegal immigration.

[napscoordinator]

He and his campaign staff

I totally missed the day Walker announced he is running for President. What a day that must have been. I think Walker will be the last one to announce which is a brilliant strategy because all the others will have their little bump and he will arrive last with his bump which hopefully lasts.

[napscoordinator]

Oh please NO!!! I dont think we can take another 4000 debates.

lol. Only 12 are scheduled from June until December....I am not sure how many in 2016. They are having less then in 2012.

[VinL]

I’m for Sen. Cruz- but Gov. Walker has a clear record of accomplishment. Doubt, at his point, that he’s “fading”.

[SoFloFreeper]

Cruz is out campaigning. I would hope his numbers go higher.

I still support Walker between the two.

Either one would be outstanding.

[gwgn02]

I don’t want a RINO following Cruz...so no VP Walker or Paul for me.

[TADSLOS]

😃 GO TED!!

No, it was---and remains---much more than that. As Rush says, Walker showed the way to implement conservative policies in a very blue state, how to withstand the worst the Lib nutjobs could throw at him three times, and how to de-fang the unions.

One can disagree with Walker over his (apparent) immigration policies (which appear to change daily)---as I do---yet still respect him for what he has accomplished and to use it as an inspiration to stand up to the media.

[DoodleDawg]

This is a marathon and not a sprint, and we’re very early in the process. So polls at this stage don’t mean a lot.

[LS]

Paul got the "whoopeee!" treatment from the "Five" tonight, mainly because he "reaches out" to minorities (so sick of that crap line) but really because he is anti-war on drugs. I don't see Paul lasting long. He may have the support of some of the younger people---like his nutty dad---but they don't have the money to do squat.

Bush has the money, but faces a pretty unified group of conservatives.

Rubio might siphon off some of Paul's younger support, but he and Jeb will split the pro-illegal vote.

So far, I think it will come down to Cruz and Walker.

Ted Cruz also argued cases before the Supreme court successfully.
Was in charge of a whole federal department FTC.
Solicitor general.
